Two novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile, and yellow-pigmented, irregular rod-shaped bacteria (JY.X269 and
JY.X270T) were isolated from the near-surface sediments of river in Qinghai Province, P. R. China (32°37′13″N, 96°05′37″E)
in July 2019. Both strains were shown to grow at 15–35 °C and pH 7.0–10.0, and in the presence of 0–6.0% (w/v) NaCl.
The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the isolates were closely related to Ornithinimicrobium cavernae CFH
30183
T (98.6–98.8% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), O. ciconiae H23M54T
(98.5–98.6%) and O. murale 01-Gi-040T
(98.3–98.5%). The phylogenetic and phylogenomic trees based on the 16S rRNA gene and 537 core gene sequences, respectively,
revealed that the two strains formed a distinct cluster with the above three species. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization
(dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between our two isolates (JY.X269 and JY.X270T) and other
Ornithinimicrobium species were within the ranges of 19.0–23.9% and 70.8–80.4%, respectively, all below the respective
recommended 70.0% and 95–96% cutoff point. Furthermore, the major cellular fatty acids (> 10.0%) of strains JY.X269 and
JY.X270T were iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, and summed feature 9. Strain JY.X270T contained MK-8(H4) and ornithine as the predominant
menaquinone and diagnostic diamino acid component within the cell wall teichoic acids. β-cryptoxanthin (
C40H56O) can
be extracted from strain JY.X270T, and its content is 6.3 μg/ml. Based on results from the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic,
and phenotypic analyses, the two strains could be classified as a novel species of the genus Ornithinimicrobium, for which
the name Ornithinimicrobium cryptoxanthini sp. nov. is proposed (type strain JY.X270T = CGMCC 1.19147T = JCM 34882T).

An endospore-forming bacterium, designated YT-3T, was
isolated from a paddy soil in Yingtan, Jiangxi, China. Cells of
strain YT-3T were Gram-positive, rod-shaped, facultative
anaerobic, catalase, and oxidase positive. The optimum growth
temperature and pH were 30°C (ranged from 15 to 50°C)
and 6.5–7.0 (ranged from 3 to 11), respectively. Analysis of
the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain YT-3T was
affiliated to the genus Bacillus and displayed the highest similarity
to that of Bacillus drentensis JCM 21707T (98.3%),
followed by B. ginsengisoli JCM 17335T (97.8%) and B. fumarioli
JCM 21708T (97.0%). The similarity of rpoB gene
sequence between strain YT-3T and B. drentensis JCM 21707T,
B. ginsengisoli JCM 17335T and B. fumarioli JCM 21708T was
80.4%, 81.5%, and 82.1%, respectively. The genomic DNA
G + C content was 44.9 mol%. The predominant respiratory
quinone was Menaquinone-7, and meso-diaminopimelic acid
was present in the peptidoglycan layer of cell wall. The major
fatty acids were C15:0 anteiso (36.2%), C14:0 iso (19.6%),
C15:0 iso (17.4%), and C16:0 iso (9.8%). The polar lipid profile
consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine,
phosphatidylglycerol, phospholipids, and ammoniac
phospholipids. The DNA-DNA hybridization values
between isolate YT-3T and B. drentensis (JCM 21707T), B.
ginsengisoli (JCM 17335T), and B. fumarioli (JCM 21708T)
were 36.3%, 30.3%, and 25.3%, respectively. On the basis of
physiological, genetic and biochemical data, strain YT-3T
represented a novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which
the name Bacillus ferrooxidans sp. nov was proposed. The type
strain is YT-3T (= KCTC 33875T = CCTCC AB 2017049T).
